Description

Alle Thyng Hath Tyme Time and Medieval Life explores how medieval people experienced time, revealing a complex and nuanced understanding that defies simple categorisation.

The medieval perception of time was multifaceted, encompassing both natural phenomena like sunrise and sunset, as well as the mechanical clock's increasing precision. Gillian Adler and Paul Strohm examine how these competing systems influenced medieval people's sense of time, resulting in a rich and expansive understanding that remains rewarding to consider today.

This insightful account sheds light on the intricacies of medieval timekeeping, offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who lived during this period.
